FOREWORD In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, and the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah , The Almighty and The Most Glorified. Peace be upon the Prophet Muhammad , his family and companions , May Allah bless them with honour and graces. This is the first academic writing of Mr. Abdullaah Jalil in the subjet of Hajj and ʿUmrah. It combines between fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence) and managerial perspectives of Hajj and ʿUmrah with specific reference to the Malaysian context. The author has adopted a new and fresh way in discussing the subject and it might be – wallahu aʿlam - the first of its kind. We, as the publisher, feel very honoured and grateful to have the privilege for the publication of this very book. May this book enrich and develop the discipline of Hajj and ʿUmrah in a modern way and approach. We really hope that this book will benefit the ummah in many ways and may Allah grant the author and anyone who contributed directly or indirectly to the materialization of this book His mercy, blessing and forgiveness. Thank you and Wassalamuʿalaikum. Best Regards, WISDOM PUBLICATION i INTRODUCTION In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, and the Most Merciful; All praises are only for Allah , the Almighty, who created the whole heavens and earths. Peace be upon the Prophet Muhammad , his family and companions, May Allah bless them with honour and graces: Ḥajj could be considered as the biggest annual mass assembly of Muslims or even the people of the earth. It is estimated that about two or three millions of people congregate altogether in the manāsik / mashāʿir of Ḥajj every year to perform this fifth pillar of Islam. Although Ḥajj can be viewed as the miracle of Islam, it also poses managerial issues and challenges for the authorities and operators to ensure the smooth and efficient Ḥajj activities taking place. This book is an effort by the author to explore the management of Ḥajj and ʿUmrah as practiced in Malaysia, particularly by Tabung Haji. Malaysia has been recognized by many parties, including the Saudi Arabia government, as the best country in managing its Ḥajj groups. For the first edition of this book, the author does not aim to be comprehensive in discussing all aspects of Ḥajj management. Nevertheless, the author hopes that all the main aspects and issues have been highlighted and discussed in this edition. The discussion of Ḥajj and ʿUmrah in this book shall cover the two main aspects (as its title suggests): 1. The Shariah aspect of Ḥajj and ʿUmrah; and 2. The Managerial aspect of Ḥajj and ʿUmrah The discussion of the Fiqh aspect of Ḥajj and ʿUmrah could be found in both classical and contemporary works. However, the managerial aspect of Ḥajj and ʿUmrah is somewhat new and not many references were written in this field. Furthermore, the managerial aspect could be viewed from three different levels: National level Agency level Individual level ii This book will be revisited and reviewed continuously from time to time in order to deal with the developments occur in the managerial practices of Ḥajj and ʿUmrah, particularly in Malaysia. In completing this book, the author attempted to adopt the content and methodology adopted by madhhab al-Imām al-Shāfiʿi and Tabung Haji in preaching the Ḥajj and ʿUmrah to the readers. Thus, Tabung Haji’s website and publications are the main references for this book. This is to ensure that the learner and reader of this book will be exposed to the Malaysian approach of Ḥajj and ʿUmrah which is basically based on the madhhab of al- Imām al-Shāfiʿi – one of the four main Sunni schools of Islamic jurisprudence - that is recognized globally by the Islamic jurists and scholars. Notwithstanding, the process is carried out while keeping the originality of the author’s works and efforts in this subject. The author sincerely hopes that this book would benefit the readers, students as well as academicians in learning and discussing Hajj and ʿUmrah from two different aspects: Fiqh and Management. May Allah forgive the author on any mistake occurring in this book, the author will never claim for perfection and may anyone who found any mistake in this book convey it to the author in the best manner. The author also prays that all the efforts that have been spent by him to make this book a reality are accepted by Allah as a good and sincere deed on “the day whereon neither wealth nor sons will avail, but only he (will prosper) that brings to Allah a sound heart”, (Al- Shuʿarāʾ:88-89). ِ ِ ِ ِ َو َماَّ َت ْوفيقيَّإِﻻ َّبِاللَِّا ْل َع ِِّلَّا ْل َعظي ِم، ِ ِ ِ ِ ِ ِ َّ َو َص لَّا ُللَّ َع َلَّ َس ِّيد َناَّ ُ َُم مدََّّالن بِ ِّيَّ ْاﻷُ ِّم ِّيََّّذيَّا ُْْل ُل ِقَّا ْل َعظي ِم،َّ َو َع َلَّآلهَّ َو َص ْحبِهَّ ِ ِ ِ ِ ِ ِ َو َتابِعيهَّا لذَّي َنَّا ْق َت َدواَّ ِ َِب ْد ِيهَّا ْل َق ِوي ِم،َّ ِِفَّ ُك ِّلَّ ََْل َحةَّ َو َن َف سَّ َع َد َدَّ َماَّ َوس َع ُهَّع ْل ُمَّاللَِّ ِ ا ْل َعظي ِم.

    Muslim Response to “To Be a Pilgrim” Jerusha Tanner Lamptey, Union Theological Seminary Bismillah Al-Rahman Al-Rahim

    Muslim Response to “To be a Pilgrim” Jerusha Tanner Lamptey, Union Theological Seminary Bismillah al-rahman al-rahim. In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. I must begin this evening by expressing my sincere gratitude for the invitation to participate in tonight’s discussion and to hopefully contribute a few additional insights to the many that have already been proffered by Fr. Ryan and Dr. Mintz. In preparation for tonight’s conversation, I found myself, as I oft do, preparing for salat, or the ritual Islamic prayer. This preparation includes performing purification and formulating proper intention, among other things. However, it was not these aspects of my preparation that caught my attention on this occasion. Rather, my attention was directed to another minor yet habitual action I perform with every prayer, a minor adjustment of the directional orientation of the rug on which I pray. I don’t take out a compass and figure the direction technically, but I always move the rug somewhat…and I fancy (perhaps naively) that I can tell when it has been moved into the correct alignment. This rug, of course, faces in the direction of Mecca and the Ka’ba, the site of the annual hajj pilgrimage. And there is a connection with that site that penetrates and pulsates throughout the ritual of prayer and throughout the lives of Muslims. The directional orientation to the Ka’ba is in fact a spiritual and symbolic orientation that shapes understandings of human existence in the world and human relation to God. In my brief remarks tonight, I would like to draw attention to this spiritual and symbolic orientation, building upon Fr.

    Muslim Women's Pilgrimage to Mecca and Beyond

    Muslim Women’s Pilgrimage to Mecca and Beyond This book investigates female Muslims pilgrimage practices and how these relate to women’s mobility, social relations, identities, and the power struc- tures that shape women’s lives. Bringing together scholars from different disciplines and regional expertise, it offers in-depth investigation of the gendered dimensions of Muslim pilgrimage and the life-worlds of female pilgrims. With a variety of case studies, the contributors explore the expe- riences of female pilgrims to Mecca and other pilgrimage sites, and how these are embedded in historical and current contexts of globalisation and transnational mobility. This volume will be relevant to a broad audience of researchers across pilgrimage, gender, religious, and Islamic studies.

In this regard, this article aims to reveal the ritual of the hajj in the ancient Arab society which is different from the current practice of Muslims nowadays. This article is a qualitative study using content analysis. The finding reveals that although Arab community remained to believe in Allah, but in view to the long gap between the two ages of Prophet Abraham and Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H.), they had mixed up the implementation of a true and wrong rituals in their pilgrimage. Keywords: Pilgrimage, Pagan Arabs, Kaaba, Mecca Introduction The term Jahiliyyah is derived from jahl which connotes a description of pre-Islamic Arab society who were ignorance of the God, the prophets, the way of life, and who were also arrogantly and imperiously proud of their lineage (Ibn Manzur n.d.). It was a dark age of the Arab history with the absence of divine light to guide their faith, and their lives were fully deviated and strayed from the religious method.

    Chapters on the Prophetic Visitation1 ‘Allamah Zafar Ahmad al-‘Uthmani Translation by Zameelur Rahman Chapter on Visiting the Grave of the Prophet (Allah bless him and grant him peace) before or after Hajj2 1. Narrated from Musa ibn Hilal al-‘Abdi from ‘Ubayd Allah ibn ‘Umar from Nafi‘ from Ibn ‘Umar (Allah, Exalted is He, be pleased with them), he said: Allah’s Messenger (Allah bless him and grant him peace) said: ِ َم ْن َزاَر قَ ْبِري َوَجبَ ْت لَهُ َشَفا َعتي “Whoever visits my grave, my intercession becomes necessary for him.” Al-Daraqutni transmitted it. His narrations agree in a number of reliable copies of his Sunan and likewise in other than the Sunan from [al-Qadi al- Husayn ibn Isma‘il] al-Mahamili [with his chain] from ‘Ubayd Allah [ibn ‘Umar] in the diminutive (musaghghar) [i.e. ‘Ubayd Allah and not ‘Abd Allah].3 Al-Bayhaqi narrated it from other than al-Mahamili through the route of Muhammad ibn Zanjawayh al-Qushayri: ‘Ubayd ibn Muhammad ibn al- Qasim ibn Abi Maryam al-Warraq narrated to us: Musa ibn Hilal al-‘Abdi narrated to us from ‘Ubayd Allah ibn ‘Umar from Nafi from ‘Ibn ‘Umar (Allah, Exalted is He, be pleased with them) the hadith. Thus, the narration of ‘Ubayd ibn Muhammad, who is trustworthy, is established in the diminutive [i.e. with ‘Ubayd Allah ibn ‘Umar and not ‘Abd Allah ibn ‘Umar]. 1 A note preceding this section says: “From the wondrous fortunes is the drafting of the chapter of visitation [from I‘la’ al-Sunan] and its completion a year and some months before the completion of the chapters of Hajj in the illuminated [city of] Madinah, at the house of my master, our intimate guardian [Mawlana Khalil Ahmad Saharanpuri], facing the fragrant Rawdah and the illuminated prophetic mosque; and the writing of the last pages of it in the presence of the Prophet (Allah bless him and grant him peace) facing him while standing in front him, fearful and apprehensive of his gaze, with trembling hands due to recalling his eminence and loftiness.

    Nikah Mut'ah Dalam Perspektif Al-Qur'an Dan Hadis

    Jurnal Studi Al-Qur’an; Vol.8, No. 1 , Tahun. 2012 Membangun Tradisi Berfikir Qur’ani Nikah Mut’ah dalam Perspektif Al-Qur’an dan Hadis Khairil Ikhsan Siregar Universitas Negeri Jakarta [email protected] Abstract The research on verse 24 of the letter an-Nisa ' and hadis apostles about mut'ah marriage (contract marriage) has received the attention of the Sunni scholars as the study of exegesis and sharh hadith of the Prophet which stipulates that mut'ah marriage is illegitimate. It is a benchmark for the opinion of the Syi’ah who claimed that mut'ah marriage (contract marriage) is kosher. Syi’ah also accused some Sunni scholars have done foolishness by reading books of tafsir and hadith sharh Sunnis to deceive the public. Keywords : mut'ah marriage, an-Nisa ' 24 A. Pendahuluan Hadis Rasulullah, tetap menjadi kajian menarik di kalangan para intelektual muslim dan barat. Salah satunya hadits tentang nikah mut’ah, masih tetap mendapat perhatian masyarakat terutama bagi pendukukung syi’ah rafidhah dan zaidiah, tetap berargumentasi bahwa Rasulullah pada masanya belum pernah mengharamkan pernikahan mut’ah, akan tetapi Umar lah yang mengharamkan nikah mut’ah pada masa khilafahnya. Sesungguhnya perlakuan nikah mut’ah masih terjadi di tengah-tengah masyakat muslim. Apakah karena informasi hukum nikah mut’ah kurang disosialisasikan untuk masyarakat muslim, atau karena memenuhi kebutuhan hidup, atau kepentingan lain. Maka dari itu, sampai saat ini pernikahan mut’ah atau kawin kontrak sesuatu yang menjadi umum tetapi seakan-akan pengharamannya diabaikan jadi biasa-biasa saja, terutama tidak ada teguran untuk para pelakunya, khususnya di Indonesia sebagai masyarakatnya yang mengkleim nikah mut’ah haram hukumnya.
